Protecting files from mass downloading

[russellcurtis]

I have a large number of files I want to make available for download, but ONLY after the visitor has successfully filled in a form. All the files are named in a similar way (ie. file_01.zip, file_02.zip) and so anyone who downloaded one file would not have to do much to then proceed to download all the files on the site by guessing the names of the files.

How can I prevent this from happening?

I would ideally like to stick all the zip files in a protected directory, but then the browser will not be able to access them to download. Can someone come up with a suggestion as to how I can protect my files? I am using a Win2k web server and ASP scripts with javascript.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Russell:
Please read our posting guidelines, one of which states "Do not cross post your question in multiple categories: http://www.codingforums.com/postguide.htm

This is clearly a server side problem, so I'm closing the current copy of your question here in the JavaScript category.
